Summary:
I conclude that CEIC must reexamine a request within 36 months (72 in the case of fraud) following the date when benefits were paid to the claimant and must notify the latter of its decision. If it does not respect this deadline for reexamination and notification, the overpayment cannot be collected.

Summary:
CEIC must collect the overpayment within 72 months of the date at which it has notified the claimant of its decision. Thus it can have up to 12 years to collect overpayment in cases of fraud and 9 in other cases, plus the time passed during appeal or other recourse.
